The late night talk show hosts are having fun picking on Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, because of her labored answer about how to correct unequal pay in the workplace.

To be honest, it's a difficult economics question that involves preparation and complex answers.

Ms. Powell was understandably nervous -- in front of a live nationwide audience, with all of her family and friends watching, and fielding a question that was not easy to answer. I was impressed with her dignity and decorum.
